I can't make this one but I'm most interested to see how the ticketing for Will Call goes, given no more ticketmaster.   I would think it'll be like Pearl Jam, where you don't know what seats you get until you show up.   It never made sense to me that Ticketmaster was going to handle Roll Call - Ticketmaster is all about who's fast fingers buy the seats first.... they have no way to handle "seniority" with a single sales time and code.  So I suspect the weren't "fired" but that was just a stopgap solution until the permanent system was in place.

   I just splurged on Sia tickets for her August show in LA, which made me dead broke......awwwwwwwwwwwww!! >:( I have to make it to this show even if I have to drive back home(three hours diastase).

 I have the Bob Marley DVD Live from The Santa Barbara Bowl. Since seeing that I always thought what a great looking venue.

I live half way between Hollywood and Santa Barbara. I got 4 tickets to the Pantages, but they are in the back. With this Roll Call thing I should get excellent SB ticks. Does anyone know if there is a limit for 2, or can I get 4? My only concern it the SB Bowl is surrounded by multi-million dollar houses, and they don't crank too loud, with a strict curfew of 10PM. I hope they start well before 8. The sun will set as they play. I bet there are not too many tri-county(Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo) people registered with Roll Call. Don't all of you outsiders try to buy tickets on Wednesday just to sell them over the net, I want front row center!

Shoot!  I missed the cut-off to get RollCall registration for this show.

I'm a huge fan, have been for many years and would love LOVE to score a couple of RollCall seats to this show.  The SB Bowl is one of the best venues in the country and being a local I'd really love to be there with some decent seats. 

Any RollCall members willing to help a fan out?   If you are elsewhere I'd happily buy your tickets and throw in some swag as well.

Please please please!  I hate scalpers and do not want to have to pay their usury for the privilege of seeing one of the very best live bands around.

[sweatboard]

are you a cop?

[Streethound]

Cop?  ha ha,  no f'n way man. 

Just a fan who missed the cut-off for the Pre-Sale RollCall...  If the swag you prefer is the one I prefer Im sure we can find a way to make each other happy.

Rincon,

   The SB Bowl has a strict 10pm curfew but the volume will be plenty loud.   This is one of the very best venues in the country and is such a killer place to see a band like MMJ.  The last time they were in SB was 2005 and they killed it at the Lobero.  The place was half empty!!!  Still ranks up there as one of the best live shows I've ever seen.

walterfredo:  if you've got to miss, being at high sierra is a great place to be! 

so true.  It's just a tough one to swallow knowing they'll be playing just a few hours from my house in such an awesome venue, and I won't be around to experience it...yet alone use my roll call powers to score sick seats.

I just checked the SB Bowl website and it looks like the front section is going to be GA...

I am very familiar with the Bowl. I have seen Talking heads, Santana, Roxy Music, The original Pretenders,Gypsy Kings, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, R.E.M. and even Death Cab for Cutie(took my son and his friends), over the past 30 years. The Neil show, Greendale, was, along with last years MMJ at the Greek, the quietest shows I have ever been to. I saw Crazy Horse in 1991 indoors, and they cranked. At the bowl everyone was yelling for them to turn it up.

rincon:  there is a 2 tix/member limit in the presale

streethound:  all rollcall tix purchased have to be picked up at will call by the purchaser.  your best bet is to go for the general on sale.  good luck!

also:  there might be sb bowl season tix holders at this show.

I am BEYOND stoked for this show!!! I absolutely LOVE the bowl and will be driving up solo from San Diego. I would love, love, love to be in the pit, but won't be able to buy a ticket until next week :(

I'm hoping this won't sell out or I'll...I'll...explode!!!  :D

[rincon]

I would love the pit, but I am too old to want to fight for location, or stand for 3 hours. Plus my wife would never go for it. Front seating is perfect. Santa Barbara itself is heaven. There is a reason the average house still cost over a million bucks in that town.

done and done!

Does anyone have today's presale password?  If so, mind sharing it?
